30 Apr '21

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of TDE R14.0.10. TDE is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software. Born as a fork of KDE 3.5 back in 2010, TDE is now a fully independent project with its own personality and development team, available for various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS. This release comes with new applications (KlamAV, Komposé), major enhancements to virtual keyboard, customizable icon spacing on KDesktop, various minor improvements and fixes to several long standing annoying crashes. The full version of the Release Notes is available at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.10 Additional information is also available here: * TGW issue list https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/35 * Bugzilla bug list http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=3161&hide_resolved… * Detailed changelog https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.0.10 We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the preparation of this release and we are looking forward for further contributions in future. -- Slávek Banko TDE Team

Website refresh
by Slávek Banko 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

The TDE team is pleased to announce that the main website refresh has been completed. If you have not yet noticed this, a refreshment of the TDE website was performed a few days ago. You don't have to worry - layout remains the same in principle. However, thanks to E.Liddell the web site is now able to adapt to the device being used! Along with this, the menu structure was simplified and the contents of several pages was updated. Some parts are still waiting for an update, such as some pages on Wiki. In any case, we wanted to complete the update of the core website before releasing TDE R14.0.10. If you have any other ideas, do not hesitate to tell us. A substantial change that was done within the update is the replacement of former CLA per DCO. As discussed in the mailing list, in fact, DCO was used for a long time. Therefore, the change does not affect existing contributors. Note: In the previous announcement you could notice a typo - although the subject stated R14.0.10, in the body R14.0.9 was incorrectly stated. Obviously, at the end of April we expect releasing R14.0.10. Slávek Banko TDE Team --

Creating new bug reports as issues in TGW
by Slávek Banko 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce that as a first step in migrating from Bugzilla to TGW Issues, we have redirected to create new bug reports to be created as Issues in TGW. When you use Report Bug/Request Enhancement... from the Help menu in the application, you will be automatically directed to create an issue in the repository belonging to the application. When you want to create a new issue in the TGW web interface, without using Report Bug/Request Enhancement... in application, you can first select the repository that belong to the application and create an issue in the appropriate repository - for example for the Basket application in the 'basket' repository, for the 'kate' application in the 'tdebase' repository, for the 'kmix' application in the 'tdemultimedia' repository. If you are not sure which application the problem concerns and or which repository belongs to the application, you can create an issue on the main repository 'tde'. To create issues in TGW, you will need to create an account in TGW instead of the previous account in Bugzilla. You can read more about TGW on the wiki: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace -- Slávek Banko TDE Team

Planned short outage of my server
by Slávek Banko 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Dear developers and users, we would like to inform you that is planned a short outage of my server. This affects the services that are provided on my server: + Master Archive web + Master Archive rsync The temporary unavailability of these services should not affect normal operation of essential services for TDE, because important things are part of the mirror system and / or vps cache. The outage is scheduled for Friday, December 4 at morning time (UTC time). I assume it won't exceed two hours. Thank you for your understanding. Slávek Banko TDE Team --

Packages of pinentry in pinentry-tqt flavor
by Slávek Banko 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of pinentry deb packages, which are built in pinentry-tqt flavor. The packages are available for most distributions, all architectures, except the oldest supported distributions - Debian 7.x (Wheezy) and Ubuntu 14.04.x (Trusty). For users of these distributions, we recommend updating to a newer version of the distribution. I would like to thank Emanoil Kotsev in particular for his efforts to incorporate the TQt flavor of pinentry into pinentry upstream. -- Slávek Banko TDE Team

Restructuring of main modules in TGW has been completed
by Michele Calgaro 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Dear all, as previously announced here: https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/announcements@trin… this weekend we have moved the core packages to a new 'core' sub folder. 1) If you don't have any local branches and you just use the source code as is, you just need to run: ./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean as usual to get your local copy properly updated. It will take longer than usual because all the 19 core packages will need to be cloned again. You may have to remove old directories in tde/.git/modules/main (not in tde/.git/modules/main/core) at the end of the update which are no longer used. The new cloned module git info will be in tde/.git/modules/main/core 2) If you are a developer and you are using worktrees, you can follow the procedure above as well and all should be fine. 3) If you are a developer using standard git repositories (no worktrees) and you have local branches that you would like to keep, things are more complicated and will require manual work. We recommend to: A) make a full backup of your local repository copy B) run ./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean, this will update your local copy creating new copies of the core modules C) merge your local branches from the original backup into your new copy of the core modules. 4) If you don't want to clone the repositories at all, you will need to manually move folders and edit various git configurations files. It works and you don't lose any information, but it is a tricky process and requires good knowledge of git and its configuration. Do it at your own risk! Cheers Michele

Restructuring of main modules in TGW
by Michele Calgaro 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi everyone, please be informed that this coming Saturday the structure of the code repository will undergo some changes. All the main modules will be moved under a "core" folder, as detailed by the following PR: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/pulls/38 The change will alter the hierarchy of submodules for the main TDE repository. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended you backup your local copy of the affected repositories in case you have some local branches not published anywhere. If you don't have any local unpublished branch, you don't have much to worry since you can always clone the repository again. A follow up announcement will be sent once the PR has been merged, so you will know when the new structure is in place. The affected modules are: tdeaccessibility, tdeadmin, tdebase, tdeedu, tdegraphics, tdelibs, tdenetwork, tdesdk, tdeutils, tdewebdev, tdeaddons, tdeartwork, tdebindings, tdegames, tde-i18n, tdemultimedia, tdepim, tdetoys, tdevelop Cheers Michele
